Research into 'Dyer's star theory'

Dyer proposes that:

'A star is an image not a real person that is constructed (as any other aspect of fiction is) out of a range of materials (e.g. advertising, magazines, etc. as well as films/music).'

The theory can be broken into 5 sections:

1. The making of a start
2. Constructions
3. Audience and Institutions
4. Hegemony (Cultutral Beliefs)
5. Character & personality
